Just a quick note about today’s outing with my brother: It was a morning visit to the lanes, and my left foot is often balky in the morning, but maybe more so today because of the rain. That said, I was still in the 160s and 170s for all three games despite my footwork suffering. I switched back to my Tropical Breeze after starting with the Fast, so if I bowl next week (and that is in doubt…I’ll “cross that bridge” next week if I have to), the Tropical Breeze will probably be the only ball out of the bag other than my spare ball.
Note: I’ve noticed some viewers finding this blog on a search for the oil pattern for the USBC Youth Open. Those people should probably check Bowl.com by clicking “Tournaments” in the menu, then the “Youth Open” link; if the pattern for this tournament is published, it will probably be there.
